If Only It WERE The Heat!

What a day. A passenger plane has been shot down over Ukraine uncomfortably close to the Russian border.

Hamas reneged on the humanitarian cease fire so Israel launched their ground offensive.

Children still pour across the border while Congress dithers. It's now being reported parents are giving them birth control in case they are raped during the journey.

Along that line former member of Congress, Todd Aiken, who once talked about legitimate rape and the idea that women's bodies protected them from becoming pregnant in such circumstances now seems to proudly announce that some of his staff were conceived by rape. Whoa! It can't be both ways can it? You know, this guy really gives me the creeps.

And speaking of creeps there is al Assad sworn in as president of Syria for another seven years. I'm not sure just what he's president of any more. His population is rapidly disappearing.

Back to the plane crash where some 20+ Americans were reportedly on board. Was the missile launched by the insurgents within Ukraine or from Russia? Let Putin explain that one away. When gathered, the radar tapes in the region will tell the story.

If only there was a cooler head to prevail! Oops. I guess there is. Our president. Mr. Cool. Where's he? Out fund raising among his adoring minions. At least he isn't on the golf course. Yet.
